4 cups peeled, sliced peaches
2 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup water
8 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the peaches, 1 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan and mix well. Bring to boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Put the butter in a 9 x 13 pan and place in oven to melt.
Mix the remaining one cup sugar, flour, and milk slowly to prevent clumping. Pour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle top lightly with cinnamon if desired. Batter will rise to the top during baking. Bake for 30-45 minutes
Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
**This is a great recipe to use when all those yummy Utah peaches are in season. This recipe reminds me of one my Mom use to make when I was a little girl and always loved! This recipe is from Paula Deen from the food network show: Paula's Home Cooking. We made this on Sunday and all loved it!
